What's new

Locker room trouble?

Here is the dilemma:

I think with a top 5 pick, the Jazz can get back to the playoffs really quickly.

BUT, if they want to compete and WIN titles, then need another top 5 pick.

So, do you go back to the Deron days and try to win now, or do you go back to the Stockton/Malone days, when you had a shot to win it all?

If we make the playoffs next year the player we got in the draft will be much better than Deron.
 
Cherry picking? Sure it is.

I still think i could have coached this team to those 2 wins against horrible team though so what i think what i said is still true

Well then you should start polishing your resume and practicing your interview skills because according to you the job will be opening up this summer.:)
 
Not hard to tell the players to drive and dish off pnr... I bet you'd go 2-16 and throw in a few entertaining plays like Kanter shooting threes. FWIW, I think Corbin should make losing fun for the players, which the fans will also enjoy. I'm guessing running more is part of that.

Thing is, I think we'd've probably won more had we ran. Our wings are pretty crappy in the halfcourt, but rather stellar in the open floor, and it's not like our bigs can't run. As you know, I am a big proponent of Kanter having free reign to shoot 3's because of the long term benefit when they start going in. Even if Kanter shot less than 30% from 3, the trade off for the extra point and floor spacing would be well worth it. Marvin could actually play the 3, and this team could've been slightly better defensively.

Nah
I personally hope the jazz do better than 2-16 in march of next year.

I would probably be equal to corbin as a coach.
I want someone better though
 
No, I think we take this year and go for it. We still have multiple picks in the coming years.

Jazz

I agree.
I dont wanna tank anymore.

we'd've

Awesome
 
Wishful thinking much??



We should be so lucky.

To me that is the one most likely to happen. Ty is not in negotiations. All season long we heard from the ownership and FO that Corbin will be judged on defense more than wins this year. Well guess what...our D is ranked last in the league. Corbin is gone.

Yeah but Lindsey had a convo with Ty at the beginning of the season. I wonder what he said to motivate Ty for the year ahead. Surely he didn't say "Hey, we've stripped your roster - let's see how you go, cos, you know, if you suck, we'll just cut ya".


I can't believe any coach could be motivated hearing that....

He told him, we gutted your roster so we won't judge you on wins but on the fundamentals you teach the team. (Like defensive rotations). Corbin has not achieved that. He had his chnace and didn't deliver.

Still a pretty tough ask though, when you're losing it's hard to motivate your team to play defense. A lot of the games are blowouts by the 3rd quarter too.


Dennis is the GM for sure, but isn't Ty buddy buddy with Greg and Gail was nearly brought to tears when she said all those good things about Ty at the Press Conference when he was hired? IIRC, She said something along the lines of "Sloan was with us 20+ years, and we hope you can do the same".
 
Ty is not going to get fired. He might not coach the jazz next year, but I would be shocked if he wasn't part of the Jazz organization. Vp of player development and scouting or something. Jazz repay loyalty with loyalty. And retread everyone. Ty has done a difficult job and never complained about the owners or GM to the media. He will be a jazzman forays long as he wants. I think it was all worked out before the season began.
